If you kill enemies fast enough or touch a recharging pad, Hel gains a shield that protects her from an extra hit, gains an air slash, and (with the right nodes unlocked) can see enemies through walls.

Also, the upgrade system has changed from tetrominoes to a diamond shape where surrounding certain spaces power-up abilities further.Īnother big change is Hel’s rage function. The key differences though are Hel’s dash is more of a long leap, she’s faster than Jack, and has several base functions that were unlocks for Jack. Since she was never damaged (nor poorly repaired) is working at 100% efficiency, save for a couple of functions limited by the Keymaster. Hel controls similarly to Jack but with a few changes to make this expansion more welcoming to new and returning players. And so begins Hel’s journey through Dharma Tower to eradicate all resistance. The Keymaster demands complete obedience any noncompliance will result in immediate termination and a new Hel unit will take over. Hel gets woken up by the Keymaster, the ultimate villain of Ghostrunner, with one task… eliminate the Climbers and any other resistance. You’re put in control of a cyborg unit, sister to bosses from the original game, Hel. Project Hel takes place shortly before Jack wakes up. And we’re finally getting it with Project Hel. It didn’t feel like a surprise after a year of regular free content updates that a DLC expansion would be on the way, particularly with a sequel coming in the future that won’t be arriving for some time. Specifically, though, them secretly making a puzzle game out of an action game felt great.

The list for what All In! Games got right goes on and on. It raised the bar very high for fast-paced games just because of its one-hit sword fighting kills, level detail, enemy variety, etc. Being presented as a fast-paced first-person action game, I dove in headfirst.

Ghostrunner, developed by All In! Games and 505 Games, was one of my favorite games of 2020.
